whom they depend for the Endorsement
of the McGarigle warrant had reconsid-

until the Judgment of Judge Fellows is
given in the Sheppard case, which he
says will form a precedent for all similar
applications. He would have been will
ing to back the warrant had not the
Sheppard case been taken before the
highest court in the province, and he

teen-year term for the murder of n. p.
Allen-a crime which Convict Jim Young
confessed to having committed-hare re-
doubled their efforts to secure his par
don. The governor, when appealed to
last summer, said he would release
Thomas il Young confessed who his ac-
complete was, and improved some one
other than Thomas. The Friday and
Saturday nights before dying Young told
the story of the murder, saying his part
ner WAS a. man named Moffett, now in
the Wisconsin penitentiary. Warden
M~cClaughry, who at first doubted the
mans story, is now thoroughly eanyinced
of Thomas innocence and believes every
word of Young's confession is true. He
has sent q statement OF the prisoners

looks as IT. it were only a question of time
when Thomas wiz be released.
The Pinkerton detective who was EN-
ployed on the case said he worked on the
matter blu three weeks, when he was
withdrawn owing to a lack of funds in
the county's treasury. In his investiga-

took exceptions to his theology, and
called him toorder; but the speaker did
not desire to be interrupted in that way,
He continued his sermon, and Rev. CHS
holm mounted the rostrum and began TO
speak. Each tried to Cry the other down,
and failing in this, they %clinched, and
each tried to pull the other of the plat
form. During the excitement some one
blew the lights out, and the meeting
came to an abrupt termination. The
next day each had the other arrested and
at the trial Rev Chisholm was fined So,

fined $40. He was unable to pay the iue
and now lies in jail in consequence.
